The OP's look a bit overinflated.

Having the fluid not cover the valve stem when at the 12pm position is nice if you do not want any fluid to come out when checking psi.
But if you do it right, it should not be messy unless you need to dump some air.
You have to have a gauge meant for fluid to check pressure. If you use a regular gauge it will ruin it, and may give a false reading. I agree, they look a bit over-inflated.

Yes. Also, fluid cannot compress, so if there isn't enough air, the pressure in the tire could exceed it's rupture point.
